WODE Flow ver 0.1 (wad/channel) Now Availible for download.

Greetings:
I have been into Wii modding ever since my friend introduced me to a cool new thing he'd found for the Wii, known as 'homebrew'. Since then my love for hard/soft modding has greatly increased and has become more varied.

About seven months ago, I pre-ordered a new "Awesome looking" Wii Hard-mod, known as 'WODE' standing for: 'Wii Optical Disk Emulator'. Much has happened since then, and in the mean time many of the people who brought WODEs were waiting in anticipation for the upcoming 'WODE CHANNEL'. Many of us waited for a long time, and soon the first WODE game booting HBC app was released, later on the WODE Flow HBC app was released. Some of us were still hoping for and expecting an actual Wii menu channel, but it was noted by 'WODE' moderators, that general Homebrew info and tutorials was beyond the site and said would have to be posted on another site (such as this one).

About a week ago after enquirers for it on the WODE forums and my own want, I decided to create a custom ver 0.1 WODE Flow forwader channel, for other people to download (and change if they wanted). Along with the download I included a full tutorial on how to safely install this .wad onto their Wii, and provided help to anyone if they had a problem. Only one guy was able to download the file before I was told that the thread had to be deleted, the reason being: The people at 'WODE' did not want some 'not so talented technical people to try and install this and then balme the WODE forums for any problems'.

Well anyway... Now I am posting the download link and full tutorial on how to install here on this site.

TUTORIAL:
NOTE: This tutorial for installation is broken up into individual stages, so the user can clearly comprehend what needs to be done.
ALSO NOTE: I will accept NO responsibility for any potential damage done to your Wii console.
Preparation:
1. I'm asuming you have allready installed the HBC, if not, look up 'HomeBrew Channel' and you should find some simple tutorials.

2. You are going to need a USB device or SD card.

3. You are going to need a Wii console (If not, I recommend not going any further in this tutorial)

Actuall Beginning of Tutorial

1. After downloading the file from download link above, Create a folder on the root of your USB device/SD card, named 'apps'.

Isn't there anything about these instructions that make it more difficult or dangerous than the instructions for installing WODE Flow?

sync00 are you asking if installing a wad channel is more dangerous than installing HBC and DVDx needed (currently but not for long) to run WODEflow.

Short answer is yes definitely.

HBC and DVDx alone are rather vanilla modifications to the Wii with a correspondingly reduced risk of a brick during the installation process and during normal use with the WODE.

However that risk increases considerably when changes of the nature required to install a WAD are implemented. Those changes are to replace and or alter IOS within the Wii.

Just for context.

I am the WODE moderator that suggested to Jake@War that WiiHacks is a more suited forum for the channel he has made, and the guide he has written. I think there is a need for a guide and a channel such as he has created and I further feel that this outstanding forum is the right place to host both. This is after all Wiihacks and not a product support forum alone.

If I have not got your question correct I apologise and ask could you try once more.
